Animal Testing

Today I went to this camp that focused on health and nutrition. We went to UNC today to look at the brand mew fat lab. I was utterly disappointed on how the lab mice were handled!!!!! There were two activities that involved them. The first one was about blood sugar how we did it was we took two mice, one was ob/ob (fat) and the other was a lean mouse. The "instructor/scientist" took a razor blade and cut their tale a bit to get some blood so they could see their blood sugar. What they did wrong was they didn't get a new blade for each mouse which no doctor would ever do to a human patient. They injected glucose into them and also neglected to change the needles between mice so now those mice will die of infection unless they are butchered by the "scientists"! Which brings me to activity number two. It was a disection of an ob/ob mouse and the lean mouse. They euthanized the mice. I didn't see it so I wouldn't know how they did it. Well when the time came to dissect the mice they had pushed pins shoved in their hands and feet. Their bodies where mutilated by scissors and their internal organs were pulled out of there dead carcasses, laid out beside them, and weighed for absolutely no reason!!!!!!!!!!!! There was no reason for the slaying of innocent animals when you obviously see that one was fatter then the other!! If that wasn't enough, they disposed off it by wrapping it in paper towels and was put into a plastic bag. They said they incinerate the mice but you know thats not true!!! I support animal testing BUT ONLY IF ITS DONE IN A SAFE AND HUMANE WAY, now I'm starting to reconsider that choice after seeing the murder of defenseless animals. I will never ever forget the screams of those poor mice. Comment and voice your opinions.
